[pLog-svn] Email Validator

[Jon Daley]

 	I don't think so.  The name can be within quotes, yes, and all 
sorts of crazy things can be in it, but that address doesn't actually have 
an address.

I think it would have to be like this to be valid:
"J. P. 's-Gravezande, a.k.a. The Hacker!" asd at server.com

But, maybe that is wrong.

You should have some invalid test cases also.
